Short Bio

Scott Hammell has been entertaining professionally since 1998. In the nearly two decades since, the four-time Guinness World Record holder has hung upside down from a hot air balloon while locked in a straitjacket and chains (World’s Highest Suspension Straitjacket Escape), dangled by his ankles and juggled for over a minute and a half (Longest Inverted Juggling Duration), successfully completed a card trick while skydiving (World’s Fastest Moving Card Trick) and jumped from an airplane while blindfolded and handcuffed (Highest Blindfolded Skydive). He has performed Houdini’s famous Milk Can Escape, juggled live explosives and has been shot at with a sniper rifle and caught the bullet as it ricocheted off a steel plate that hung around Scott’s neck. Scott has traveled the world performing in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia. His audiences are as varied as his skill set. Whether it’s a royal sheik in Abu Dhabi, a prime minister in Malaysia or a group of village elders who don’t speak English in Kenya, Scott always brings his passion for his art to entertain and inspire!
